This week on Maximum Mom your host Elise Buie joins Renée Bauer.
Ms. Renée Bauer is an award-winning divorce attorney, published author, and founder of the family law firm, Bauer Law Group.
Renée’s insights are sought after by local, national and international media outlets, podcasts, and conferences where she speaks on co-parenting, blended family dynamics, relationships, and the art of reinvention. As an accomplished litigator, she boldly educates and inspires women to reclaim their right to happiness through her online course, the d∙course and podcast, Happy Even After.

Her need to share her message is greater than her fear of speaking in crowds. Stay tuned because being on stage as a Tedx speaker is on her short “to do” list even if she is going to have to take lots of deep breaths for that one.
Once private and reserved, Renée has stripped away the photo filters to talk candidly about the shame and guilt most women feel in their lives so they can find their own version of Happy Even After

A Team Model for Moms with Amy Carei
Maximum Mom
02/15/21 • 51 min
This week on Maximum Mom your host Elise Buie joined her team member Amy Carei.
Amy comes from humble beginnings. She was the first person in her extended family to go to college, let alone attend law school. Raised by a single mother with limited means, Amy understands the importance of family and the value of a dollar. She takes neither for granted in her law practice.
Amy prides herself on being a genuine and approachable person first and a lawyer second. She takes time to understand what her clients are going through and has a knack for explaining complicated legal processes in plain English.
She believes that true collaboration leads to the best legal outcomes. Amy's approach to law is that she sees herself as the navigator and the client as the pilot. She feels this way because, while she may be the expert when it comes to the legal process, the client remains the authority about what is best for their life.
Amy has significant experience representing clients in times of crisis. Before transitioning to private practice, she worked for an agency that was dedicated to helping survivors of domestic violence. She is passionate about providing families with opportunities to create safer, more stable lives.
A fifth-generation Washingtonian, Amy lives in Tacoma with her spouse, her three children, and two dogs – a Newfoundland named Huxley and a St. Bernard named Ellie. The family enjoys cooking, gardening, and hiking together. Amy's hobbies include remodeling her 1890's Craftsman house and restoring old Toyota hatchbacks.
